Who We Are

Strategic Information Policy and Planning is a functional unit within the domain of the
Chief Information Officer of the Institute. SIPP participates in the planning efforts
for the entire division. It also provides leadership and direction for Information
policy development both at the division and at the Institute level.

Information Policies

The Chief Information Officer has Institute-wide responsibility for policy, standards, and
practices related to information technology, to information systems, and to information
handling.

All Institute policies are reviewed and approved by the President. In the following list,
items categorized as draft policy have been released to the campus for comment before
being submitted to the President for her approval.

The policy on Electronic Citizenship covers
the general conditions of use for campus information technology resources.

Policies in development are available for review either as
campus-only
documents, which have been released to the campus community for comment, or as
DotCIO-only
documents, which have been released to the staff of the CIO division for comment.
An RCS userid is required for access in either case.

DotCIO Unit Standards and Practices

The operating units within DotCIO each have their own standards, procedures, and practices
for services provided by the unit. Here as links to the more commonly referenced web pages
